Swedish/Greek melodic death metal outfit NIGHTRAGE are back with a vengeance, and this time their new disease will leave no one uninfected! After two highly successful and critically acclaimed albums on Century Media NIGHTRAGE has now turned to seasoned metal producer Jacob Hansen (Mercenary, Hatesphere, Raunchy) to record a masterpiece of ruthlessly heavy riffing as well as soaring and ethereal melodies bearing the title “A New Disease is Born”, the follow-up to 2005’s “Descent into Chaos”.

The result is an inspiring album mixing NIGHTRAGE’s tradememark take on melodic death metal with an unconditional vision of what the future of the genre should sound like; the relentless onslaught of opening track ‘Spiral’ through the divinely bewitching melodies of “Defame” to the death metal mega-hit “A Condemned Club” NIGHTRAGE show with the greatest clarity that death metal can be truly uncompromising while also inventive and open-minded.

Since NIGHTRAGE was formed in Greece by Marios Iliopoulos and guitar hero Gus G many prominent figures of metal such as Tomas Lindberg (ex AT THE GATES, THE GREAT DECEIVER), Nicholas Barker (DIMMU BORGIR, CRADLE OF FILTH), Per Möller Jensen (THE HAUNTED) has collaborated with the band, and after a few member changes the line-up is now as strong as their vision of metallic perfection. Guitarist and founder Marios Iliopoulos is the core of the band. NIGHTRAGE is finally in unquestionable unity, and have already proved their worth as an almighty metal machine on tour right up to the recording of “A New Disease is Born”.

With their new label Lifeforce records, NIGHTRAGE are now ready to step up to the higher echelons of death metal, with an album that is sure to send riveting tremors throughout an unsuspecting world. Abandon all hopes of a cure when this new disease is born in February 2007!

Marios Iliopoulos - Guitar | Antony Hämäläinen - Vocals

NR songwriting update

Hey all,

Just a quick update from the Nightrage camp.

Marios along with Olof and Antony are currently in heavy writing mode for our fourth album, and the result so far is 100% BRUTAL melodic death metal with a healthy dose of blast-beats, ethereal melodies and hook-lines that should be hard to shake out of your head!

We have tried to make songs that represent the history of the band and also come naturally without forcing anything,

This time all the NR fans will be pleased and we will try to make the best NR album ever, heavy, uncompromising and metal all the way.

Antony´s vocals are coming really heavy, warm, and passionate like the Lindberg glorious days, and Marios and Olof have the best chemistry ever, both in songwriting and guitar collaboration.

The songs so far have a very old-school feel, without lacking originality, and represents a conscious search for what has been Nightrage’s little unique enclave in the quite crowded Melodeath scene.

That’s the best way to describe it really.

Some song titles so far are:

"The Failure of All Human Emotions"

"Among Wolves"

“Opposite in Black “

” Abandon “

”Shed the Blood”

“Wearing a martyr’s crown”

“Mocking modesty”

Our main focus for the moment is song writing, but we will take a break or two this summer to spread our disease!

First up is the Rock weekend festival in Sweden on July 19th with our brothers in Firewind and Soilwork!

Any Swedish fans out there come support us and our friends, and we might even premiere a new song or two for you.

More updates on the new album will follow soon.

Cheers,

Marios and Nightrage
